Ah-hmm
[Verse 1: Chris Martin]
G#
Joseph rode in on a beam of light
Cm
Stray dogs to welcome him, fights, corrugate cathedrals
F# C#
The sight of the pilgrim's going nowhere in millions of cars
[Verse 2: Chris Martin]
G#
Lagos a dream in the distance
From promises he'd made behind
Cm
Where there was no harvest
F#
But he missed the sky and its circus
C#
And countless, the stars
[Chorus: Chris Martin]
Fm
In Africa
The rivers are perfectly deep
Cm
And beautifully wide
C#
In Africa
The mothers will sing you to sleep
Cm C#
And say, "It's alright, child
Cm C#
It's alright"
[Bridge]

[Chorus: Chris Martin and Tiwa Savage, Chris Martin]
Fm
In Africa
We dance in the water and hold
Cm
Each other so tight
C#
In Africa
The mothers will sing you to sleep
Cm C#
And say, "It's alright, child
Cm C#
It's alright"
[Verse 3: Chris Martin]
G#
Joseph rode in on a beam of light
And dreamed of his queen by his side
There'll be a beautiful sunset
And you'll be a beautiful bride
